So we're right now sheltering thousands of people in emergency shelters. And we have over 2100 Red Crossers on the ground supporting our partners, making sure we're supporting those relief efforts, “said Burke.

PPL has been assisting by restoring power in those areas hit hard by the hurricanes. Dana Burns, the Communications Director for PPL says have crews on the ground for hurricane relief efforts.

“ We've had troop I had crews on the ground helping to restore power for Hurricane Mountain. We sent down over 60 people, electric line workers and support personnel, along with 40 contractor line workers to help Florida Power and Light and aid in their restoration efforts. And, you know, I think it's just it's a really important way that we all support each other and give back to the regions that are hardest hit by this weather, “said Burns.
